All That Cincinnati Jazz—Cincinnati has always been a hotbed of jazz performance and education, and that influence spreads around the world. Every week, we spend an hour listening to the music that has direct connections to Greater Cincinnati, often with interviews with the music makers themselves. It’s a celebration of Cincinnati Jazz, locally and internationally with the Cincinnati Jazz Hall of Fame.

That 70s Hour is a response to so many members and listeners who have asked WMKV to add some 1970s spice to the mix. In addition to some 70s soft classics throughout the broadcast day, here’s an hour of 1970s nostalgia and sounds. These are songs that other radio stations have left behind, but are chock full of memories!
Dan Sweeney’s One Hit Wonders

You’ll hear the unique stories for over 2200 one hit wonders artists and songs including “where are they now” updates. Along with trivia, one hit wonder interviews, jingles, and movie & pop culture news from the showcased years, Dan Sweeney’s One hit Wonders has become the “fun” place to remember those forgotten hits.

World of Theater Pipe Organ
The late Edwin B. Dooley was a veteran Cincinnati broadcast engineer. He helped compile WMKV’s massive big band era music library, recording many selections from his private collection. Some of the collection was donated to the station by the Dooley family after Mr. Dooley’s death. We miss Ed very much and honor his memory and his love of theatre pipe organ music by continuing to air the program he recorded in front of a classic ribbon microphone in the basement of his home. Ed’s widow, Joyce, often reported that she didn’t see her husband while he was working on WMKV projects, which were a labor of love for him. We wish to acknowledge the Dooley family for allowing us to continue to bring this nostalgic radio program to the airwaves!
